Some people think that prison sentences should not be used to deal with criminals. Education and skills training should be used instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is true that some
people
 do believe in education and skills development as replacement jail punishment for those who are committing a
crime
. Not to mention, though, prison sentences are not the most effective way for all kinds of crimes to address. I do partly agree with
this
 surrogate method. The reason why some
people
 think job training can be set
instead
 of prison punishment would be its efficient impact on an individual’s behaviour. In the other words,
this
 is because
people
,
in particular
 teenagers, who are committing a
crime
such
 as pickpocketing or even drug smuggling need to treat in the right way.
Besides
this
, most adolescent criminals have grown up in poor or broken families,
thus
, they do not have the

 being a productive person, and most of them unintentionally tend to commit a
crime
.
Therefore
, it is unfair to experience prison sentences and should be given a new chance to build their life.
Additionally
, on the other side, jail is a place in which can be seen different aged criminals commit varied offences including murder, vandalism, kidnapping and so on, that make jail far more dangerous
instead
 of being informative. I do think,
however
, imposing a fine on petty
crime
, run a light
for example
, or even in some online fraud that
people
 lose their money. In conclusion,
although
 education and professions training are suitable ways that can apply
instead
 of
such
 harsh sentences, I do believe imposing fine might be proper as well.
